Taheerah asked me to use products from my stash of Flora & Fauna stamps. Since they are among my favorites, I was happy to say yes. I ended up making a Christmas and a birthday card.I made this cute card way back in early October before surgery. I hope it will warm the recipient's heart. Love these penguins and sentiment from Flora & Fauna's Cozy Cuddles Penguin.

Simply stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. Hand cut a little banner for the sentiment.And then I needed a birthday card the other day, so I made this quick, very CAS card. Love getting back to stamping.

Stamps from Flora & Fauna's Birthday Set and Texture Two. Colored that little bird with pencils and Copic marker. Paper strip from Altenew. PRIZES!It’s not a party without a prize - and with prizes every day there are several chances to win!

These are beautiful cards. I wasn't familiar with Flora and Fauna before today, but I really like how they do birds. I would definitely cuddle with those penguins, and the little happy birthday bird is adorable. And what a good idea to adhere it slightly askew to give it just a little more interest. I'm always impressed when people can make that look intentional; mine always just look confused when I try it. Thanks for the inspiration and participating in Taheerah's advent calendar!

My nephew loves penguins. He has always loved penguins ever since he saw The Penguins of Madagascar. He would love this card. I love it too. Your second card, the birthday card, is so simple and colorful on the bottom of the card. It's something I never would have thought to do but I'd like to try it. I don't have a bird stamp like that but I could do something similar. Thanks for showing us your cute card and for giving us the chance to win something. Off to the next stop on the Calender.

Note to self: don't be afraid of some white space! The birthday card proves it, although there is still a fair amount on the Christmas card. Sometimes simple is all it needs! Thank you so much. Your cards are at the top of my list of things to copy!!!

Joan, the layout of your darling little penguins is perfect and love the cuddles sentiment. That little birdie birthday card is very cute also. Happy New Year and I'm sure your thrilled your surgery is behind you!
